emmanuel mccall probably had the more political speech making well jab would might be a little too much but making some pointed references to the state of french and u.s. relations at the moment because he mentioned nato he mentioned the united nations both institutions that were borne out of the rubble of the 2nd world war to make the world a safer place and we know that in many remark or strongly in favor of those institutions of strengthening those institutions we also know that donald trump is exactly the contrary so you could understand that as a strong hint towards the u.s. president who was listening to him but he also think of course the american efforts after all the u.s. came to say friends not once but twice the 1st world war the great war as it was called here in france and the 2nd world war so thank you was a big part of that and he offered to renew the pact the friendship between the u.s. and france donald trump on the other hand a more emotional speech more focusing on the veterans that were present even going there and bracing them telling their stores. max and even as y
